Ok but they didn’t “pioneer” the field, Britain did, they might have been the first to put it into practice on a large scale if that’s what you mean but that’s not the same, and also several other countries had their own eugenics program so it’s hardly surprising for Germany to follow suit

So my cat has been gender-questioning ever since he was a kitten, with all the usual signs such as squatting to pee in the litterbox. I've tried buying him food for both male and female cats and he seems to be preferring the female food at least 75% of the time so I think he has quite a bit of dysphoria and isn't feeling like he belongs in his current body.

Are there any good gender reassignment vets in the US? Specifically west coast if possible? I've heard about them in Canada but not sure about the US. I've set up a dilator on the wall next to his litterbox in the hopes he'd start getting used to it before an operation but it doesn't seem like he's trying it.

NTA but he said history, not prehistory. After agriculture become a common practice, it's been pretty well known that the lower castes (most people) had poorer mainly grain filled diets when compared to our prehistoric hunter gatherer ancestors. This can be seen in how our stature shifted to be shorter (something that's only recently shot back up) and by how much of a religious and historic significance bread or rice or corn has in any society. History has been fueled by grains.

Horses are long-gut fermenters, alcohol is a normal byproduct of their digestive processes. It takes a prodigious amount of liquor to get one drunk, and not just by the standards of "this animals weighs a thousand pounds". I use malty full bodied lagers hide the taste of medicine for horses pretty regularly (stuff like Coors Banquet or Lienenkugels Original), but not all horses like the flavor, so make sure yours likes the taste before trying this,

I had an Arab, years ago, that would steal and chug any beers left unattended on fence rails, It was good for a laugh now and again.

It's simultaneously fulfilling, rewarding and pretty nice.
But pretty depressing.
Puppies and small dogs come and go.
But if they grow taller than someone's knees, they stay there forever.
Nobody wants a big dog.
We cannot take surrenders because there's just so many strays filling the place.
Absolute lack of people coming to help
To even just spend time with some dogs.
We're three people right now with 70 dogs at the shelter.
There's not enough time in the day to both clean and tend to them while spending enough time socializing them.
It's rough out there for the big poochies, anons.

This and people just want to breed puppies to sell
They don't sell so they jump dump them
We're a no-kill shelter and don't get funding from the local government because they only fund kill shelters.
We require every adopted dog to be neutered and spayed.
These puppies are energetic though and mob you in a pack. So they're likely going to be here for a while too.

Foxes are already evolving rapidly, and we need to start thinking about how to integrate them into our society and involve them in the economy. What professions do you think would be best suited for them?
As mentioned earlier, foxes are very vocal, and also they are agile. I think they would make excellent singers, dancers, and overall entertainers. Surely some foxes will work in pest control, as they are naturally adapted to finding and eating mice and insects.
They also possess natural wisdom, but I am not sure how they could utilize it.

If you can use San Diego as an example get involved with your biggest zoo and try and get them to copy the model to get a pair as conservation ambassadors. My very end goal is to hopefully inspire enough anons to get involved that future generations can actually have a platypus like Texans have big cats. Just less irresponsible and more careful breeding and protecting the genetic stock from ecological disaster responsibly. Captive tigers are being used to prevent the wild population from failing due to inbreeding in some areas of the world.
